Description

The GAPPAY IPO 2 Wooden Dumbbell is designed for IGP / IPO Level 2 obedience retrieve exercises and is built to meet the regulation weight and dimensions used in working-dog competitions.

Made from solid beechwood, the dumbbell is tasteless and odorless, helping prevent dogs from chewing or developing loose grips during retrieve training. Hardwood dumbbells like this are preferred by trainers because they encourage a clean, consistent hold while the dog learns proper retrieve technique.

The IPO 2 dumbbell weighs approximately 1 kg (2 lb), which is the standard weight used for Level 2 retrieves in IGP / IPO obedience routines. The balanced design and smooth hardwood surface allow dogs to carry the dumbbell comfortably while building strength and reliability for competition retrieves.

This dumbbell is commonly used for:

  • IGP / IPO obedience training
  • competition preparation
  • building a correct hold and carry
